GENERAL OPERATION INTRODUCTION The General Motors Immobiliser is used in conjunction with the vehicle engine management electronics to immobilise the vehicle. The first systems were fitted to Petrol vehicles and subsequently fitted to Diesel vehicles from 95½ Model Year. The immobiliser system is independent, and can be diagnosed separately. The system is also operated independently from the central locking system, and it s main function is to inhibit starting. Immobiliser Control Unit The immobilisers function is to transmit the start signal to the engine management ECU after it has read the key fob code. If the code is recognised the immobiliser sends the signal and the ECU compares the code with what is programmed. If the signal is incorrect the engine which is allowed to start initially is then switched OFF. If there is a malfunction then the engine check light mounted in the instrument panel will flash. The system uses what is called an IMO (Immobiliser Signal Code) signal to talk to the electronic engine management system, or for Diesel vehicles the Fuel Cut-off Solenoid. The control unit can only be re-programmed if the necessary security code is entered, which is found on the customer vehicle information card (CAR PASS). NOTE : If a new immobiliser ECU is fitted to the vehicle, then the code that is entered will be stored in the memory for any future programming requirements. If a different code is used to that on the CAR PASS, please ensure this is written down and passed to the customer for safe keeping. It is not possible to change this code once programmed. Transponder (Mounted in key fob) The key fob contains a small electronic circuit (Transponder) which is powered when in close proximity to the control unit using cordless voltage power. Each transponder has a different code for security.
GENERAL OPERATION CAR PASS The information that is stored in the control unit includes Security Code, Engine type and transponder code. The security code cannot be erased or overwritten using the TECH 1, TECH 2 or the AD PROGRAMMING SYSTEM. The security code consists of a 4-digit number and can be found on the car pass. If a new control unit is fitted, the new unit is not programmed with a code, and must be programmed using the TECH or AD PROGRAMMING SYSTEM. However, the security code can only be programmed once and cannot be erased or overwritten. If the customer has lost the car pass with security details, then the pin code must be sought from the dealer.

PIN CODE READING - FIXED CODE TRANSPONDER CLEAR KEYS PROGRAM KEYS READ PINCODE Select the READ PIN CODE option under the Special Functions menu. Before reading the pin code the Immobiliser ECU requires resetting. The procedure for this is to disconnect the connector from the immobiliser and then re-connect. Remove the plastic cover from the underneath of the steering wheel column. Disconnect the connector and then re-connect. IF YOU DO NOT RESET THE IMMOBILISER THE ECU WILL LOCK AND THIS FUNCTION WILL NOT READ THE PIN CODE. RESET IMMOBILISER REMOVE IMMO. FUSE OR DISCONNECT IMMO.UNIT FROM THE VEHICLE PIN CODE 1 2 3 4 Follow on screen instructions to read the pin code. IMPORTANT IF AN INCORRECT PIN CODE WAS THE LAST PIN CODE TO BE USED ON THE VEHICLE THEN THIS FUNCTION WILL NOT WORK.

TIPS & HINTS GENERAL 1. Check the vehicle battery, to ensure the voltage is at least 12 volts. 2. V registration Vectra, use ASTRA-G 98 vehicle selection. 3. If a new immobiliser ECU is fitted to the vehicle, then the code that is entered will be stored in the memory for any future programming requirements. 4. If a different code is used to that on the CAR PASS, please ensure this is written down and passed to the customer for safe keeping. It is not possible to change this code once programmed. 5. The immobiliser aerial must be reprogrammed when it has been replaced CALIBRA 1. On some Calibra s the 10 Pin connector mounted in the R/H engine bulkhead is prone to water ingress, and can cause bad connections. In some cases there was nothing that could be done, until the connector had been replaced.

Vectra C has the transponder located inside the remote part of the key. None start can be caused by locked IM module, disconnecting the battery might fix it.
TIPS & HINTS 2. Programming of remotes and transponders cannot be done one after the other. Ensure that when programming of either transponders or remotes is finished, switch ignition off and disconnect TESTER before entering another programming mode. 3. When programming remotes, if the TESTER display doesn t change to ignition off, when the ignition is turned off, this indicates an incorrectly wired radio. 4. Program all 10 pin diagnostic connectors with ADC112 and the ignition switched off (leave key in). 5. To identify which type of remote a vehicle uses, look inside to see if the car has ultrasonics in the A or B pillars. If it has, then use Megamos remotes, if not use Bosch.
